“…MM as an independent practice involves intentionally shifting one's attention toward one's thoughts, feelings, and bodily states (while adopting an observant and nonjudgmental stance) (Bishop et al 2004). There has been an increase in attention to MM as an intervention for a range of childhood and adolescent problems, including anxiety (e.g., Britton et al 2014;Liehr and Diaz 2010;Semple et al 2005), depression (e.g., Ames et al 2014;Raes et al 2013), and sleep problems (e.g., Bei et al 2013). Although the authors of these studies did not examine the effects of MM on ED, some did include measures of emotion.…”

Individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) experience impairments in a number of functional domains. Although current evidence-based treatments for ADHD reduce symptoms and improve academic and behavioral functioning, they have minimal impact on social functioning or on risky behaviors (see Evans et al. in J Clin Child Adolesc Psychol, 43:527-551, 2014 for review). Preliminary evidence indicates that emotion dysregulation (ED) is associated with impairments across the developmental spectrum, such as social impairment and risky behaviors, and that its relative absence/presence is differentially associated with treatment response. It thus stands to reason that by incorporating a focus on ED in interventions targeting social impairment and risky behaviors, we may be able to increase the number of youth who respond to such interventions and decrease the prevalence or degree of these impairments and behaviors among youth and adults with ADHD. However, a number of questions remain unaddressed about the association between ADHD and ED, such as the portion of individuals with ADHD who experience ED, the extent to which ED is associated with the above impairments and behaviors, and whether or not ED is malleable. To begin addressing these questions, we summarize and critically evaluate the literature on the association between ADHD and ED and make recommendations for future basic, translational, and treatment outcome research.

“…Mindfulness-based interventions have been described as effective approaches to manage chronic health conditions in young people [44,45], such as in cancer [46] or depression [47]. There are fewer studies evaluating the efficacy of mindfulness in pediatric populations with chronic pain than in adult populations [48,49], although the number of studies using youth samples is growing.…”

Psychological Neuromodulatory Treatments for Young People with Chronic Pain

et al. 2016

The treatment of young people with chronic pain is a complex endeavor. Many of these youth do not obtain adequate relief from available interventions. Psychological neuromodulatory treatments have been shown to have potential benefit for adults with chronic pain. Here, we review and summarize the available information about the efficacy of three promising psychological neuromodulatory treatments—neurofeedback, meditation and hypnosis—when provided to young people with chronic pain. A total of 16 articles were identified and reviewed. The findings from these studies show that hypnotic treatments are effective in reducing pain intensity for a variety of pediatric chronic pain problems, although research suggests variability in outcomes as a function of the specific pain problem treated. There are too few studies evaluating the efficacy of neurofeedback or meditation training in young people with chronic pain to draw firm conclusions regarding their efficacy. However, preliminary data indicate that these treatments could potentially have positive effects on a variety of outcomes (e.g., pain intensity, frequency of pain episodes, physical and psychological function), at least in the short term. Clinical trials are needed to evaluate the effects of neurofeedback and meditation training, and research is needed to identify the moderators of treatment benefits as well as better understand the mechanisms underlying the efficacy of all three of these treatments. The findings from such research could enhance overall treatment efficacy by: (1) providing an empirical basis for better patient-treatment matching; and (2) identifying specific mechanisms that could be targeted with treatment.

“…MBIs have proven to be effi cacious and effective for youth, both in clinical (e.g., depression [ 18 ]; mixed mental health disorders [ 19 , 20 ]) and nonclinical samples (in a school context; e.g., [ 21 , 22 ]). Reviews show that MBIs can be successfully used with children and adolescents in different settings (e.g., [ 23 -26 ]).…”
